Cameron Hill was born with racing in his blood.

He grew up on the track, watching his father Colin play crew chief on the National Sports Sedan scene for seasoned professionals and former champions including Terry Shiel, Keith Carling and Neil McFadyen.

One of his earliest memories was being in the grandstand, watching the cars rip around the track. There was smoke, it was loud, and he could taste the raw smell of fuel. He remembers the scene as being full of nervous tension and palpable excitement.

Cam is humble about his success but ask him questions about the driving, and his eyes light up and his voice rises to confirm the sheer excitement of it all.

On the track he means business. And when he’s on that start line it’s just him and the car. That’s when the adrenalin takes over, and the glory of winning a race gets him over that finish line.

‘It is indeed a pleasure for me to endorse Cameron Hill’s credentials as perhaps Australia’s most exciting racing driver prospect in recent years. I have watched him race & I believe he has all the attributes to make a successful professional career as a racing driver. Any driver who can dominate a National Australian series (Formula Ford) the way Cameron has this year has serious natural talent. I wish Cameron all the best for the future.’

Alan Webber – Father of Formula 1 star Mark Webber

‘Cameron came to my attention this year, whilst racing in the Australian Formula Ford Championship against my wife Leanne. His natural speed and race craft was immediately evident, but the thing that struck me most was the work he did out of the car, his own personal preparation and ensuring that all the little 1%-ers were taken care of prior to getting in the car and then going about decimating the opposition. I am sure Cameron has the ability and determination to get to the top in motorsport should he get the support he deserves.’

Garth Tander – V8 Supercar Champion, Holden Racing Team

‘When it comes to athletes that inspire as “people”, it’s usually an athlete or a team that has had to battle to achieve success – Eighteen-year-old Cameron Hill is a case in point.’

It became clear early on that Cam had talent, and the excited look on his face when the 2 stroke engine on the lawnmower started up was enough to give his family cause to send him to the karting track.

In 2005, at the age of nine, Cameron started his Karting career, racing competitively in the midget/cadet class at a state level across the east coast of Australia. He was driving a Dino chassis.

In 2008 he graduated to the Rookies class, switching to a Top-Kart chassis and taking out the South Australian State title.

The big wins continued over the next few years. In 2012, he won the National Pro Junior (KF3) Australian Championship, following in the footsteps of current Australian drivers including Tim Slade (V8 Supercars), Neil McFadyen – (Aust. Driver Champion), Michael Caruso (V8 Supercars) and Ryan Briscoe (Indy Cars). Cam also competed overseas in the Las Vegas Supernationals (2013) against an elite group of factory teams, and former F1 and Indy Car drivers.

2014 saw him switch from karts to racing cars and Cam competed in the National Formula Ford Series as a privateer. He earned a spot on the podium in only his 4th round, and after a year fraught with mechanical issues and many unfinished races, Cam ended the season in sixth place and won the Privateer’s Cup.

His Rookie season in Formula Ford was followed by sheer domination of the 2015 series, Cam winning 12 out of the 18 races making him the seventh most successful Formula Ford driver of all time.

The first round at Sandown saw Cam take his first race win in style, becoming the first privateer team in more than a decade to win a National Formula Ford race.

Cam dominated the third round at Winton raceway, capturing his first pole position and winning all three races.

The fourth round at Sydney Motorsport Park in July, also saw Cam dominate by taking the round win with three race wins, pole position and the lap record.

The final round of the Championship was at Wakefield Park with Cam needing only seven points to secure the title. Cam started strong taking pole position and then lead all three races from start to finish, securing another round win along with the 2015 Australian National Formula Ford Championship.

In 2016 Cam progressed to the brand-new Toyota 86 Racing Series, winning the first five races in a row against a field of more than 35 rivals. Cam grabbed two pole positions and set the lap record at Sydney Motorsport Park in Round 2 of the series. The middle of the 2016 season saw Cam hit a bit of a rough patch, but he managed to regain his mementum and finish the season in third overall for the series.

Cam returned to the Toyota 86 Racing Series in 2017 again displaying his driving ability by qualifying on pole position and setting the lap record in the season-opener at Phillip Island. Cam went on to take a clean sweep of pole positions joining a select club of drivers to claim pole position for every single round of an Australian motorsport series. Cam claimed three clean sweeps wining all races at Townsville, Sydney Motorsport Park and Newcastle. Race 1 at Townsville saw Cam set another series record with a 13 second victory in the race, the most comprehensive winning margin ever seen in the category.

Round 5 at Newcastle was Cam’s last in the Toyota 86 Series; statistically, his tally of seven pole positions and 13 race wins cements him as the most successful driver in the category since its inception. This season alone, he scored five pole positions, eight race wins and 10 fastest laps.

Graduated into the Australian Formula Ford Series, taking the big step to move from karting into cars. Finished 6th overall in the series and Top Privateer of the Year.
